[QUOTE="JEEPr, post: 2578073, member: 11425"] I've shot a good bit or RB, I have messed with the patch a little bit. I bought some pillow patch, the cotton patches with the bore butter in it and I also tried to make some of my own out of an old cotton shirt. I didn't try silk to get extra yardage (Last of the Mohicans). However I never thought to drop below the 90 mark on the BP. Accuracy with the Great Plains bullets for Hornady was pretty good. I got a group of 3 inside a 6" target. I also bought some of the PA conicals by Hornady as well, They are supposed to be designed for slower twist rifles. Those weren't as accurate. I will say I had the best luck with the RB with pillow patch. I'm curious to see how things go when I drop the powder load. Speaking of changing the rules for hunting... I wish I could hunt with my muzzle loader during modern firearm season too. Got another question... Hang fires and miss fires have cost me a couple of deer. What steps can I take to prevent this. I know it can be humid during Muzzle loader season I didn't know if that was a contributing factor. I'm using a stainless steel #11 nipple. [/QUOTE]
